(A) Let a,b,c∈Z. Prove that if gcd(a,b)=1 and a∣bc, then
a∣c.
(B) Let p ≥ 2. Prove that if 2p−1 is prime, then p
must also be prime.

Prove this betweenness proposition with justification for each
step.
If C * A * B and l is the line through A, B, and C, then for
every point P lying on l, P either lies on the ray AB or on the
opposite ray AC.
Prove that 1^3 + 2^3 + · · · + n^3 = (1 + 2 + · · · + n)^2 for
every n ∈ N. That is, the sum of the first n perfect cubes is the
square of the sum of the first n natural numbers. (As a student, I
found it very surprising that the sum of the first n perfect cubes
was always a perfect square at all.)
1. Prove that the Cantor set contains no intervals.
2. Prove: If x is an element of the Cantor set, then there is a
sequence Xn of elements from the Cantor set converging
to x.
1)Prove that the intersection of an arbitrary collection of
closed sets is closed.
2)Prove that the union of a finite collection of closed sets is
closed
